Las Cumbres
Las Cumbres
Las Cumbres was the Andalusian taberna of the moment on the corner of Avenida de Alberto de Alcocer and Condes del Val in the mid-1970s, built from nothing by a woman called Doña Alicia. It later moved to Avenida de América and closed, and in early 2023 her grandson Javier Palomino reopened it in the very same premises as Taberna Las Cumbres 1970, with her son behind the idea and her great-granddaughter behind the bar. The carta of around 60 dishes now covers all of Spain while keeping the southern frying, ham, finos and pepper salads, and it holds a Solete in the Guía Repsol.

Background
About Las Cumbres
The Story
In the mid-1970s, the young professionals moving into the new buildings around Alberto Alcocer found a good, cheap casa de comidas on the corner with Condes del Val. It was called Las Cumbres, and it was the creation of Doña Alicia, an entrepreneur with no background in hospitality who, in the family's telling, made it Madrid's reference Andalusian taberna, known for its southern frying. The taberna later moved to Avenida de América and eventually closed, and the original premises housed other restaurants. In early 2023 the family brought it back to the same corner: the idea came from Doña Alicia's son, her grandson Javier Palomino runs it, and her young great-granddaughter works the bar. It holds a Solete in the Guía Repsol, and chef Óscar Velasco of VelascoAbellà names it among his favourites for the lunchtime menu.
The Cuisine
Spanish taberna cooking. The family recovered the old Las Cumbres recipes and added new ones from across the country, so the carta of about 60 dishes is no longer purely Andalusian. The southern roots show in the fine fried fish, ham, finos and roast-pepper salads, alongside arroces and ensaladillas.
What to Order
Chipirones encebollados became the star of the new opening, and the frying is still the house signature. The Guía Repsol recommends the black-bellied monkfish with young garlic, panadera potatoes and a velouté, callos a la madrileña, tortillitas de camarones, the sea bass fried whole on its own spine and marinated the Las Cumbres way, and the tarta árabe. At the bar there are calamari sandwiches on pan de cristal, langoustine croquetas with a caña, callos and a cod 'ingot'.
How It Works
Las Cumbres closes on Monday and Tuesday and opens Wednesday to Sunday from 13:00 to 01:00 without a break; the taberna's own site lists a slightly earlier opening at the bar. There's a lunchtime menu as well as the carta, group menus, and bookings online or by phone.

Las Cumbres Dining Experience
Three spaces share the full carta: the bar, the dining room and the terrace. It's built for long lunches, groups and families, with high chairs, step-free access, valet parking and takeaway, and the kitchen runs straight through from lunch to late. Regulars from the first era come back to reminisce about the old waiters and the old menu. Dogs are welcome.
